Talented teen Emily Seymour is just that. The dancer of the Sydney City Youth Ballet who appeared a production of The Polar Express, let us glimpse a whole day in her amazing life.
- Rise and shine, Emily! This teen starts her day bright and early.
- The perfect ballerina bun is a must-have.
- Clean teeth are essential for someone who smiles as much as Em does!
- She takes a train to school at the Tanya Pearson Classical Coaching Academy.
- Here, her day starts by signing in for classes.
- Ballet time. Emily is at the barre doing an 'attitude derriere' (meaning she swings her leg to the back).
- Snack break. Emily keeps herself healthy with snacks such as fruit cups.
- Back to class. Emily does a 'developpe a la seconde on pointe' which means a big unfolding movement on the tips of her toes. Pretty amazing, huh?
- Lunchtime. Emily fuels up on curry with rice, a juice and an apple.
- It's amazing what a good lunch can do! Emily does a grand jete, literally a big leap.
- Now she and other students are learning variations on some famous ballets.
- That's enough school for the day. Emily's off.
- Ballerinas have to do homework too!
- A nice steak dinner with veggies - yum!
- Some catching up with friends and last stretches for the day.
- After all that fun, it's time for bed.
